Usage
Syntax
{{spaces|N|type}}
produces N consecutive non-breaking spaces (where N is a whole number larger than zero) of the type specified by the second parameter (which are ordered by decreasing space width): em
, fig
, en
, thin
, hair
. If type is not specified, N non-breaking spaces (
) are produced. A non-breaking space has the same width as a standard space, whose width is between the width of en

.
{{spaces|type}}
produces a single non-breaking space of the type indicated.
Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes
This template, usually as its alias {{nbsp}}
, may be used with {{wbr}}
and {{nowrap}}
to control line-breaking in bulletless lists in infoboxes, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.
